In late May, Hedong has entered the early summer, on the official road south of Taiyuan City, the quiet heat is steaming on the earth, flashing light, idle and gently shaking, like a fish swimming in the water, on both sides of the official road is the field illuminated by the scorching sun, the field is an endless wheat, and the green ears of wheat rise and fall with the wind.

At this time, a woman on horseback appeared on the official road in the distance, wearing a short black shirt on the upper body and a long black silver silk skirt on the lower body, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with slightly dark skin and a pair of eyes that were surprisingly bright.

She is the Dou Xianniang who came all the way, Dou Xianniang did not get her phoenix tail knife, only got a pair of bows and arrows and a horizontal knife, that's it, or shot a few small thieves who blocked the road and robbed along the way, traveled for nearly a month, and finally arrived in Taiyuan City.

The closer she got to Taiyuan City, the more nervous her heart became, and she didn't know what she was doing in Taiyuan City, maybe she was looking for someone, but ..... What if he ignores himself?

No! If not, what does it matter if he ignores himself? I just went to pay him back, a hundred taels of gold, I didn't know him all my life, how could I accept his gold casually, yes, just to pay him back, there was no other meaning.

Thinking about it, her face suddenly turned red, as if the passers-by had seen through her thoughts, and hurriedly took out a hat and put it on, and the light veils around her covered her face.

After a while, Dou Xianniang rode to the city gate, which was full of people who wanted to enter the city, a team of cars was entering the city, and the carriage was full of female guards on both sides, looking at the surrounding situation vigilantly.

"Auntie, who is this?" Dou Xianniang asked an old woman next to her in a low voice.

The old woman looked at her and smiled, "The girl is from out of town!" This is the car of the princess of Chu. ”

"Oh! It turned out to be the princess of Chu, didn't she say that the princess of Chu was very approachable? Why are you starting to get in the way? ”

The old woman hurriedly explained: "The girl is misunderstood, Princess Chu didn't block the road, it was everyone who respected Princess Chu and took the initiative to give way to her car, and the girl can go over, you see." Aren't there still a few vegetable sellers in the line? ”

Dou Xianniang saw that there were indeed a few old farmers selling vegetables in the team, carrying vegetable burdens, and followed the team leisurely. The guards on both sides did not interfere with them.

Dou Xianniang also wanted to follow into the city, but she thought that she had a bow and arrow and a knife, and finally resisted the urge to enter the city, and waited for the princess of Chu to enter the city.

Pei Minqiu came back from the villa outside the city, the weather was getting hotter, and the royal family began to consider a place to escape the summer, and the best place to escape the summer was of course Fenyang Palace in Loufu County. There is a beautiful summer and beautiful scenery, but it is too far away to be realistic.

They could only find a summer resort nearby, and finally Pei Minqiu chose Qifeng Villa in Longshan, southwest of the city, which was originally the imperial village of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and later Yang Jian gave it to Yang Liang, the king of Han, and became Yang Liang's summer resort.

Later, Li Yuan also lived in it for a while. Now it is temporarily vacant, and there are many pavilions and trees in the villa. The mountain spring is clear, so you can move in as long as you clean up a little.

Pei Minqiu, as the housewife of the palace, made a special trip to the villa today to return from an investigation, and in the carriage, through the thin window veil, Pei Minqiu also saw the Dou Linniang wearing a hat.

She was also a little curious in her heart, wearing a sword and a bow, wearing a wide silver silk black dress, dressed in black clothes, and riding a tall horse. It is rare to see women dressed like this, most of them are women who walk the rivers and lakes, and they used to be dressed like this back then.

But Pei Minqiu's curiosity was only for a moment, the window of the car turned dark, and the carriage entered the city cave and drove into Taiyuan City. The woman with a knife in a black shirt and black dress gradually drifted away from the corner of her memory.

The princess's car drove into the city, everyone followed behind into the city, Dou Xianniang also mixed in the crowd, into Taiyuan City, this is the first time she came to this ancient city, her eyes were full of curiosity, looking around the new capital of the Sui Dynasty.

At the same time, this city also made her feel very strange, where is his home? Dou Xianniang looked around and saw a few soldiers sitting there resting by the city wall, she urged her horse forward and took out two hangs of money from the horse bag.

"Sergeant, I'd like to ask you something." She threw the money over.

Several of the soldiers were startled, they looked at the veiled young woman with her face covered, then at her knife, and finally at the two hangings.

An older soldier smiled and said, "What does this girl want to ask?" ”

"Oh..... I would like to inquire where is the residence of General Luo Shixin? I'm his cousin, from my hometown. Dou Xianniang deliberately bit the word cousin very hard and clearly, but her face turned red again, fortunately there was a tulle in the way.

Several soldiers looked at each other, they didn't know it, but for the money's sake......

The older soldier galloped towards the city, "Girl, please wait, I'll go and inquire." ”

After a while, the older soldier ran back and said with a smile: "Girl, General Luo's mansion is in Honghuai Lane, Linjin Street, north of the city. ”

"Thank you!"

Dou Xianniang urged the horse to the north of the city, and the older soldier scratched his head and smiled: "This girl is really anxious, I haven't finished talking yet!" ”

As soon as he lowered his head, he saw that the two pieces of money were gone, and he was immediately furious, and grabbed the placket of a soldier's clothes, "Which one of my shares...... Dou Xianniang galloped all the way, and soon she found Linjin Street, she inquired all the way, found the red locust lane, there are several old locust trees at the mouth of the alley, at this time the snow-white locust flowers have bloomed, one of the locust trees is rare purple red, so the name red locust lane.

Dou Xianniang's heart was so nervous that she jumped out of her chest, she turned over and dismounted, took off her hat, and led the horse slowly to a mansion covering an area of about five acres, there were two halberds at the door of the mansion, and there was an ebony wooden plaque hanging on the wall next to the gate, which was engraved with two white seal characters, 'Luofu! ’

This is it, Dou Xianniang bit her lip, just approached the steps, at this time the door opened, and an old man in cloth walked out of the house with a broom, he saw Dou Xianniang, and asked a little strangely: "Girl, who are you looking for?" ”

"Old man, is this General Luo Shixin's mansion?"

"That's exactly what happened here, the girl was ....."

Dou Xianniang hesitated for a moment, plucked up the courage to say: "I.... I'm his cousin, from my hometown, is he there? ”

The old man laughed, "Why don't I remember having your niece?" ”

Dou Xianniang's face was flushed, and her cheeks were hot, it turned out that this old man was Luo Shixin's father, and she thought he was .....

Dou Xianniang was embarrassed, turned around and left, Luo Shixin's father shouted in the back: "Girl, Shixin is training in the camp outside the west of the city, and he will come back at dusk, if you have something urgent, you can go directly to the barracks to find him." ”

"Thank you, uncle, I'll come back at dusk!"

Dou Xianniang agreed, turned over and walked away, Luo Shixin's father looked at her back and gradually disappeared, and said to himself with satisfaction: "This girl is good, I like it very much." ”

"Abo, who do you like?" Suddenly a broken gong voice came from behind him, Luo's father was startled, and when he turned around and saw that it was Cheng Biting Jin, he knocked the broom handle at him, "You black pot face, I'm talking about the future daughter-in-law, what's the matter with you?" ”

Cheng Yanjin was on duty to patrol the city today, and the military office was very close to Luo Shixin's mansion, so he hid in Luo's mansion to take a nap, at this time he slept enough and was about to go back to the barracks, he saw Luo's father's broom stick coming to him, so frightened that he hugged his head and asked: "Abo, when did Shixin have a fiancée, why don't I know?" ”

Father Luo suddenly thought that Cheng Yanjin had a very good relationship with his son, maybe he knew this woman, so he hurriedly grabbed Cheng Yanjin and asked in a low voice: "Let me ask you, has Shixin been with a young woman recently?" ”

He stretched out two fingers and compared, looking at Cheng Biting Jin with expectant eyes, Shixin's wife and children died at the hands of the bandit Lu Mingyue a few years ago, and they have been alone until now, Luo's father very much hopes that his son will marry again, but his son has not taken it to heart, which makes him anxious.

Today, a young woman suddenly came looking for her son, although she was not very beautiful, but her simplicity made Luo's father like it very much, and he was anxious.

Cheng Yanjin scratched his head, "Uncle, what are you talking about?" Why did you suddenly ask about this? ”

"You idiot!"

Father Luo knocked him hard with the broom handle again, and said hurriedly: "Just now a young woman came to Shixin, and I felt that she was very interesting to Shixin, so I asked you." ”

Cheng Biting Jin's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "What kind of woman is it?" ”

Father Luo thought for a while, "About seventeen or eighteen years old, with slightly dark skin, very bright eyes, a bow and arrows on his back, and a knife..."

"It's her!"

Cheng bites the gold' ha! He jumped up and laughed, "Abo, you're going to be in-laws with Dou Jiande." ”

He rode on his horse and galloped away, Father Luo was stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Black cauldron, what did you say?" ”

"Just ask Xiao Luo yourself." Cheng Yanjin has run hundreds of steps, and he has another chance to blackmail Luo Shixin...... In the Xicheng military camp, Luo Shixin was dragged out of the big tent by Cheng Yanjin, and Luo Shixin said helplessly: "Fourth brother, what is the matter with you?" ”

"You kid, a happy event has come to the door." Cheng Yanjin smiled all over his face, and there seemed to be a few ingots of silver flying in front of him.

Luo Shixin glanced at him suspiciously, "Do you want to hit my money bag again?" ”

"What do you say, I have good news for you, that woman, do you remember? It's the one that shoots you. ”

Luo Shi's confidence jumped violently, but his face was as if nothing happened: "Oh! It's her, what's wrong, what's wrong with her? ”

"I just saw her on the street, oops! Dressed in fancy clothes, looking like that Peugeot, tsk! It's like a fairy descending to earth, how about it, do you want to know where she lives? ”

Luo Shixin snorted coldly, turned around and left, Cheng Biting Jin grabbed him, "I really don't lie to you, give me a hundred taels of silver, and I'll tell you where she is?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense you bastard, you haven't seen her at all, you know a fart!"

Luo Shixin ignored him, turned around and left......
